Get the Fake newsmug. A technique used by dishonest journalists where they exaggerate, sensationalise, slant or cherry pick for the sake of making headlines or propagating a certain agenda (usually) without ever actually lying. Journalists also sometimes cut, rearrange or take out of context what has been said by a spokesperson, sometimes using questions to invoke the desired response. The BBC, NBC and CNN love fake news. It is their bread and butter.
Using this term for satirical or alternative news should be avoided as this can dilute its effectiveness in calling out real fake news. Although similar, fake news shouldn’t be confused with misinformation as that refers to the spread of unproven, unreliable or otherwise poorly researched information rather than the purpose driven distortion of facts that is fake news.

Get the Fake newsmug. The twisted way that rednecks, trumptards, and children born of incest justify being so damn stoopid.
Rednecks and trumptards can ignore global warming, Trump's lies, animal extinction, and the teachings of Jesus Christ because to them, it's all fake news.
